WUF'S GREAT EARTH DAY!

Thank you to everyone who showed up to help get our project off the dime: Westchester Urban Farm is real!

It was inspiring to see all the community members, students and their families, teachers, administrators, children of all ages who were at Westchester Enriched Sciences Magnets High School on Earth Day Weekend.  They  pitched in, got acquainted and put their back into the work of realizing the plans of the amazing learning facility we will build. 

We will Farm the Future, shed light on a better tomorrow, develop in our youth a love for the Earth and give them a view forward to a time of proud self-sufficiency, renewal of heritage cultures through culinary arts, trusted nutrition, and knowledge of how life is propagated. We will teach them sustainably, for the most decisive century in human history. 

 

We are made strong when hands join together to plant the seeds of a vibrant, living, sustenance that is shared. Own the Future!

More Rooftop Gardens...

Imagine what it will be like when every rooftop has a beautiful garden. They not only produce organic food -- but help the environment. How cool is that?

WESTCHESTER URBAN FARM & Vertical Farming

We have systems very similar to the Chicago Airport Vertical Farm planned for our farm! The video below explains how it works.

Westchester Urban Farm – Where Is It, What Is It?

Westchester’s Urban Farm was launched in January 2012 with the purpose to become a model example of how school gardens can transform the lives of students, teachers, community stakeholders and the environment. Within several short months, community leaders, with the support of Westchester Enriched Sciences Magnets (WESM) administration and Projects With Purpose, one of the largest corporate social responsibility organizations, have come together to transform a large portion of land on WESM’s campus.

Our goal is to turn this acreage into a sustainable urban agriculture program where students can learn the latest methods of organic food production while also taking advantage of economic opportunities.

* Organic Farming
* Local Food Production
* Hydroponics
* Aquaponics
* Greenhouse + Raised Bed



In partnership with Projects With Purpose, we will reclaim the garden and its structures, providing not only a source of pride and education – but a practical benefit to the whole community when we make our organic, locally grown produce available to the neighborhood.

Be The Change You Want To See…join us on Earth Day, Sunday April 22 at WESM to help us demo and prep this area for the upcoming renovation on May 20, 2012. Everyone has something to give – time, a donation or even just encouragement. Come see the innovative things that are happening and help us make the Westchester Urban Farm a reality.
